Dr. Sandra Witte, the dean of the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology at Fresno State who is credited with increasing industry partnerships with the University, has retired, effective July 1.
Witte served the University for 38 years in various capacities. She was named the Jordan College dean in March 2016 after assuming the role of interim dean in December 2014.
Since then, new community and industry partnerships have enhanced scholarships, internships, career placement, advisory boards, research support and student recruitment. Students, staff and faculty have also benefitted from key renovations to the food science and nutrition laboratory and mechanized agriculture laboratory among other facility enhancements.
“Under Dean Witte’s steady leadership, the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology has risen in academic stature and dramatically increased the number of partnerships with the agricultural industry,” said University President Joseph I. Castro. “The Jordan College is poised for even more growth and new heights of success in the years to come.”
